We visited San Sebastian/Donostia, Spain in the fall of 2022. You can read our story here: San Sebastian/Donostia 

 

Getting There

One of the reasons San Sebastian is somewhat off the beaten path is because it is literally off the beaten path. The closest airport is the small regional airport of Hondarribia (EAS) about 30 minutes by bus or taxi from downtown San Sebastian. The airport at Bilboa (BIO) is much larger and handles numerous international flights daily, but it’s about 90 minutes by bus or taxi from downtown San Sebastian. It’s important to note that as of this writing, bus and taxi service was plentiful and reliable in San Sebastian but train service was a little complicated and Uber/Lyft services were not allowed inside the city limits. It should also be noted the Spanish Province of Gipuzkoa requires provincial publications and things like street signs to be dual language Basque and Spanish, which is why the city is officially named Donostia/San Sebastian.
